StockcarToons
----------------------------------------------
While continuing as the Las Vegas Sun’s nationally syndicated cartoonist, Mike Smith started “StockcarToons” three years ago. In an interview in the Las Vegas Sun, Smith described how StockcarToons came about:

“It really started when I did the Richard Petty Driving Experience at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Afterward I think I had an endorphin rush for three or four days and I kept saying things to my wife like, “I was born to drive.” I started thinking maybe I should have been driving a car instead of drawing these cartoons, and I thought it was too bad there’s not some way I can combine the two.

Around the time the first Winston Cup race was coming here in March of 1998, I decided to draw up a handful of cartoons and we put them on the Sun’s website and they got a pretty good amount of reaction.”

The first book collection is now available: “StockcarToons: Grins and Spins on the Winston Cup Circuit.”

Pearls Before Swine Debuts in Newspapers
----------------------------------------------
A big success on Comics.com, Pearls Before Swine has started appearing this month in newspapers! Created by Stephan Pastis, who works as an insurance lawyer during the week while cartooning on weekends, Pearls Before Swine features a megalomaniacal Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn’t know any better.

Pastis told the San Francisco Chronicle, “When Rat first started, I was a more bitter, pessimistic person. But more and more I’m crossing over to Pig. Maybe it’s having kids, plus (getting syndicated). Rat’s dream never comes true. But all of this is coming true for me.”

New Comics: Sheldon, Working Days, Out of the Gene Pool
----------------------------------------------
Sheldon by Dave Kellett
Sheldon is a ten-year-old boy who earned billions with his own software company. Despite his billions, Sheldon’s still very much a kid—happily going to school, relaxing with friends at the ol’ swimmin’ hole, and spending hours watching “Star Trek.” He’s raised by his grandfather: a warm-hearted man who barely understands the toaster, never mind these newfangled “computers.” Gramp and Sheldon are joined at home by Arthur, Sheldon’s sarcastic, talking pet duck.

Working Daze
Created by cartoonists Andre Noel and John Zakour, Working Daze looks at life in a modern, high-tech office. It centers around the staff of computer company MacroMicroWare. Though nobody is really certain what their main market focus is, the CEO is mega-rich, so the staff assumes that somebody somewhere must be doing something right.

Exclusive Interview With Dave Kellett
----------------------------------------------
Question: What made you choose a duck as Sheldon’s pet?

Dave Kellett: Growing up, I had the good luck of owning two pet ducks, rather than your typical dog or cat. Those ducks were fantastic pets: they’d follow me around the neighborhood with their expressive little faces, and we’d have all sorts of crazy adventures together. When it came time for Sheldon to have a pet, a duck just seemed like the perfect choice!

Q: Assuming he doesn’t lose his billions, Sheldon doesn’t need to work. Does he plan to pursue another career just for fun when he’s older?

DK: Even though he probably doesn’t have to, Sheldon still loves working at his software company. But if he wasn’t working there, I know he’d go ga-ga if he could get cast as an extra on “Star Trek.” An incredibly short Klingon, perhaps.

Q: Does Sheldon still go to school?

DK: Despite his billions, Sheldon is still very much a kid. He still goes to school, hangs out with friends, and does all the things a normal kid would do. The only real difference is that he picks up the tab when the ice cream truck comes around.

Q: Do you plan to do a Sunday version of Sheldon?

DK: Now that Sheldon is getting settled in to his new home at Comics.com, I’m definitely planning on drawing Sunday ‘toons in the near future. The bigger Sunday format really allows for fun artwork, so I’m looking forward to it!
